The next four chapters of Boys in the Bunkhouse gives the reader a better sense of what the everyday lives of "the boys" was like. The reader first hears about the life of the boys from the perspective of T.H. owner of the turkey plant and in charge of the whole operation. TH won many awards for the work he was doing for the disabled community, and he claim that the boys were just like family to him. He said they loved the simplicity and repetition of their job. Whether this was actually the case is a little unclear, but it was definitely not true for all the boys. Some of them tried to run away or leave T.H's ranch, all were either brought back, or driven off and never seen again. While the boy's got good at their jobs, some of them, when being interviewed later, said that it was boring unpleasant work. Once the boys moved to Iowa though things seemed to really go downhill. They were paid much less than their coworkers for doing the same amount of work, the were often made fun of by other people at the ranch, their living conditions were not standard, and the had very limited freedom or opportunities, as they always stayed at the school house. They seemed to interact with the outside community very little.
             These chapters were very interesting to me, mostly because we got the perspective of T.H (and society) as well as the boys. To the outside world it seemed like T.H was doing these men a favor, but from the perspective of the boys, or when taking a closer look, circumstances were not always as great as perceived by the public. The public seemed satisfied in the men receiving sub standard care, and low wages, because it was better than nothing. In the eyes of T.H and society they were doing a favor for the boys, pulling them out of the state schools and giving them work. I feel like society should be able to do more though than just through these men a favor. Why don't they have an equal right to the things we take for granted in life everyday; good housing, work, money, etc? Why is it that our society is just okay with giving these men the bare minimum, and sometimes not even that. I think to make an actual difference, and to keep something like the situation the boys were in from happening again, we need to change our perspective and expectation as a society. If we think that we can only give people with disabilities a little, or that giving them anything is good enough, then we will never improve in our care for this population of people. We should not be satisfied with how this population of people is treated, until their standard of living becomes a equal to a standard we would hold for ourselves.
